Taking off from equivalent runways, the 737-800 carries more passengers farther than the A320. As Sailingfun pointed out, there are many times where Delta 737-800's make the west coast out of JFK when JetBlue is fuel stopping. The 737-700 in Delta's configuration has substantially greater performance than the Delta A319 in runway allowable and climb limit weights plus range. The Airbus does have some significant customer advantages with a wider fuselage resulting in more internal space, and its cockpit is substantially more spacious.

The MD-88/90 are range limited when compared to either of the products above, which is why they've been moved from SLC to MSP.

Finally the 73N has the latest crewbag destroying technology built in, with the ability to destroy even the best made crew bags (PNT & Luggage works included).
